Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Refer to sections 2 and 11 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Symptomatic treatment and supportive therapy as indicated.for further information consult the prescribing information. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media (suitable) : water spray, foam, dry powder or CO2. Extinguishing Media (unsuitable) : Avoid high pressure media which could cause the formation of a potentially explosible dust-air mixture. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture : If involved in a fire, it may burn and emit noxious and toxic fumes. Page 2 of 7 Revision :

3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters : A self contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing should be worn in fire conditions. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures : Ensure suitable personal protection during removal of spillages. See Section 8. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air. Environmental Precautions : Prevent entry into drains. Collect spillage. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up : Avoid dust generation. Transfer spilled tablets to a suitable container for disposal. Wash the spillage area with water. Avoid release to the environment. See section HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling : Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash hands after use. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. The product may form flammable dust clouds in air, if dust from crushed tablets is allowed to accumulate. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities : Keep container tightly closed and dry. Storage temperature : < 30 C Specific end use(s) : Not applicable, refer to Section 1 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control parameters Occupational Exposure Limit Value Components Value Control parameters Comments Omeprazole magnesium 0,5 mg/m3 LTEL 8hr TWA COM, HYG Cellulose (Total Inhalable Dust) 10 mg/m3 LTEL 8hr TWA WEL Cellulose (Total Inhalable Dust) 20 mg/m3 STEL 15min WEL Cellulose (Respirable Dust) 4 mg/m3 LTEL 8hr TWA WEL Exposure Controls The specific controls will depend on local circumstances and should be based on the risk assessment. Appropriate controls to reduce exposure may include engineering controls, for example ventilation, procedural controls and the use of personal protection equipment. Prevent entry into drains.see Section 6 for environmental precautions. Occupational exposure controls Decisions about whether the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is appropriate as part of the control strategy should be based on the workplace risk assessment and should take account of local legislative requirements for selection and use. There are multiple factors that will affect the specific requirements such as amount and concentration of the material, duration of exposure, frequency of exposure, external environmental conditions, the task, the user etc. The information below should not be used in isolation and should be considered in the context of the workplace risk assessment on a case by case basis. The recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) is based on preventing the potential adverse health effects from exposure to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The risk of exposure to the API in the formulation/product needs to be taken into consideration. Respiratory protection Use a negative pressure air purifying respirator (half face mask) with filter class P3 if the risk assessment does not support the selection of other protection. Page 3 of 7 Revision :

4 Skin protection Use impervious clothing to protect against direct contact with the product if the risk assessment does not support the selection of other protection. Use impervious protective gloves to protect against direct contact with the product. If the product is dis solved or wetted use a glove material that is resistant to the solvent/liquid. Eye protection Use safety glasses to protect against direct contact with the product if the risk assessment does not support the selection of other protection. 9.
